Back to school time!

It's always a bag of mixed emotions at back to school time. I didn't cry at Kroger after dropping the kids off this year so that was better.

The freedom of summer is so refreshing and fun. We made a lot of memories together. We traveled quite a bit, played with friends, visited family and relaxed. 

The kids are ready to see friends again and I'm ready to get back to a schedule before this momma loses her mind. We've had a lot of fun. But I'm exhausted.

We took the kids to Bahama Bucks for one last hoorah. Luckily Jackson's tongue was restored to a normal color before day 1 of 4th grade.

Addie's in 1st grade this year! She has Mrs. Aldrich for homeroom - doesn't she look super fun?! 

I have a feeling Addie is going to love her.

First day excitement! Looking so good! Love you both so much!

School starts at 7:30 sharp! 

That is just super duper early after the hours we've been keeping. yikes

This is Jacksons' last year at elementary! 

Next year is 5th grade at middle school! 

Oh my heart! 

And my sanity! 

Next year all the kiddos will be at different schools. 

Crosswalk with Dad

Top dog this year!

 Addie will miss Jackson next year. He is an awesome brother and watches out for her.
